Overview
The Spinnaker pipeline expression language is based on Spring Expression Language (SpEL).
The pipeline expressions are resolved by default in Kubernetes manifests specified as text.
Accessing Pipeline Element State
A Tag set by a Trigger
The tag set by a trigger can be accessed with the following expression:
- image: "something/something-else:${trigger['tag']}"
The example above did not work last time I tried it to use it in an artifact specification, but this did:
"helm.com/something/something-else-${execution.trigger.parameters.tag}.tgz"
For an example where this works see: Pipeline parameters.
The Judgment Value set by a Manual Judgment Stage
The value selected by a specific Manual Judgment option can be accessed by subsequent stages with the following expression:
${execution.stages.?[name == '<stage-name>' ][0].context.judgmentInput}
The expression can be used in the "Conditional on Expression" clause of subsequent stages as follows:
${execution.stages.?[name == '<stage-name>' ][0].context.judgmentInput == '<option-value>'}
where stage-name should be replaced with the actual name of the Manual Judgment stage and <option-value> with the actual option value using the same capitalization.
An alternative to get the selected option value is to use the ${#judgment() function. Did not manage to make it work, more experimentation is necessary. For more details see:
${#judgment("<stage-name>")}
The Kind and Name of a Manifest Deployed by a Deployment Stage
${execution.stages.?[name == 'Deploy in Prod'][0].artifacts.reference}
Access an Output Produced by a Run Job (Manifest)
The output name is "replicas":
${ execution.stages.?[ name == 'Script Job' ][0].outputs.replicas }
Displaying Pipeline State at Runtime

Conditional Expressions
${ execution.stages.?[ name == 'Rollback Decision' ][0].context.judgmentInput == 'Rollback' }
